Colossians chapter 2 "And when you were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive together with him, when he forgave us all our trespasses, erasing the record that stood against us with its legal demands." You may have heard the words that even when you were dead in sin God sent his Son to save us. As children of God in the Gospel we are no longer under the laws of the old testament - although we live our lives in the right walk - our sins are forgiven, not by our actions but by the grace of God. So we live our lives as God would have us live, in love with one another, showing kindness and forgiving as he has forgiven us.
On this day
2003 I no longer had to drop Nicole and friends at school, she had her own car then and has ever since. So I was free to make a drop off at Salvation Army on my way to work. You know, the stuff you load into your trunk and drive around for months with? The boss was not in a great mood these days, business was slow and although he was good at finding jobs, he always kept me employed, I can thank him for that. There were days though when he was not a nice guy. We still had Sam Snead the cat and I had to take him to the vet for shots this day. In thinking back, he was the sweetest, nicest cat I might have had - I miss him in comparison to the current maniac that lives here.
2003 - Robert Duvall received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Now there's some big news.
Nome Alaska
In popular culture[edit]
At least two major films have been set in Nome, but not filmed there: the 1995 animated/live-action family film Balto starring Kevin Bacon, and the 2009 science-fiction/horror film The Fourth Kind starring Milla Jovovich.
In "Ice", a 1993 episode of the television series X-Files, Mulder and Scully are sent to a remote Alaskan research facility at Icy Cape in which a five-member team are found dead, possibly due to an alien lifeform that infects a human host and makes its host want to kill other people. Towards the end of the episode, the personnel from Doolittle Airfield (a fictional military installation named after real-life General James (Jimmy) H. Doolittle,[39] a former resident and WWI fighter pilot and Medal of Honor recipient) in Nome, Alaska, rescue the remaining survivors and the last infected victim (character Nancy Da Silva played by Felicity Huffman) is airlifted out of the base.
The 2002 Disney comedy/adventure film Snow Dogs, starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and James Coburn, is set against the running of the Iditarod race.
An episode of the Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour depicts the Ricardo and Mertz families buying land in Nome.
In episode 1 of the 1997 BBC television travel series Full Circle, British actor, comedian, writer and presenter Michael Palin (of Monty Python fame), traveled to Nome and met a goldpanner on the "Golden Sands of Nome".
In The Simpsons Movie, the Simpsons seek refuge in Alaska. In their new log cabin home, Marge Simpson is seen knitting a tapestry that says "Nome Sweet Nome", which implies the family may have taken up residence in Nome.
In the 2018 alternate history short story Liberating Alaska by Harry Turtledove, Nome (under the name Siknazuak, which is a variant of its Iñupiat name) in the story is taken over by the Soviet Union in June 1929 and is eventually liberated by the United States Marine Corps. In the story, Alaska isn't sold to the US in 1867 and remains part of Russia until the end of the Russian Civil War when Vladimir Lenin is forced to cede Alaska to the US following the Allied intervention in the war.
True-life 1970s adventures while serving as the sole physician in Nome are recounted in "On Call in the Arctic" by Thomas J. Sims, M.D. (Pegasus 2018). Funny!
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! Happy Birthday Adele!
